Tanzania BRT Station

Senior officials of the Tanzanian government revealed that the Tanzanian government has obtained a total loan of US $245 million from the world bank for the third and fourth phases of the construction of BRT.

The third phase of the BRT project involves the construction of an infrastructure project with a length of 23.6km from GONGO La mboto Nyerere road in the city center and some infrastructure projects of Uhuru road from TAZARA to kariakoo gerezani, while the fourth phase involves the construction of 16.1km infrastructure along Bagamoyo and Sam Nujoma roads.

Ronald lwakatare, chief executive of Tanzania's rapid transit authority, said they had received $148.1 million for phase III and $99.9 million for phase IV. "The funds obtained will contribute to the actual construction of BRT infrastructure, and the government will be responsible for compensating people who will be affected by the project," he said

He added that after receiving compensation, the government would announce the start of bidding for the actual construction process.

The CEO clarified that although the actual construction cost depends on the bid received, the expenditure amount of the project will remain within the same range because the funds are in foreign currency. In early 2020, the agency said it had paid $2.45 million to 77 Dar es Salaam residents to pave the way for the construction of a 23.6 km BRT phase III project.

Dart is a public transportation system based on public transportation. It connects the suburb of Dar es Salaam with the central business district. The center began operation in May 2016. The first phase of construction was completed in December 2015, with a total cost of 159.6 million euros, funded by the African Development Bank, the world bank and the Tanzanian government. The first phase of the BRT system, with a total length of 21 km, extends from kimara via ubungo to kivukoni, Morocco and gerezani.
